In the last issue of NeXTWORLD, there is a serious technical error on page 89.

In the article "Sysadmin Hints and Tips," by Daniel Miles Kehoe and Seth T.  
Ross, readers are instructed to put their machine into single user mode by  
pressing "both Command keys and the tilde (~) key simultaniously to get the NMI  
monitor."  The users are then instructed to type "monitor" to get the NeXT into  
ROM monitor.

This is wrong.  You should type "halt" to get the machine to do a clean  
shut-down.  

We're sorry for the missprint.
